Skills

Chapter Seventeen – Skills Aside from powers there is another thing characters may have and that is skills. Skills come under 2 main forms; Fighting Skills and Basic Skills. Skills are effectively things that any character is able to do however upgrading skills will make a character more adept at that skill and more likely to succeed or do that skill better. At level 1 characters get 5 skill points that they may assign to skills to make those skills better. To acquire more skill points all a character must do is level up, at every level a character gets 3 new skill points that they may assign to any skill or skills. Also a character may level up their skills by trading 5 Credits for 1 Skill point; therefore at every level a character may potentially have up to 7 additional skill points. Also when a character is attempting to use a skill on of the 6 stats is the bases of this so let’s say that a character with a power of 3 and a climb skill of 5 decided they wanted to climb a tree they would roll 3 D10 and then add 5 to the result, hypothetically the original result was 7 then the new result would be 10 and they would climb 10 meters up that tree. Understood? Therefore this section is not just for the players to understand the skills but for the Storyteller as well to help them decide what stat the character would need to perform many of the actions. Of course throughout the game the players may come across things that they want to do that we have not thought of and therefore under this circumstance it’s up to the Storyteller to decide what stat is used. Also there is no limit to how high a Skill can reach, if the character tied hard enough and spent enough time attempting it the player could get a skill to one million, though the chances of this are rather slim.
